RTHerringbone Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Yes too many injuries and red cards...Im sure it will get sorted. It has been proven over prolonged soak testing that injuries are actually less statistically frequent than in real life. When you have a spate of injuries, it often feels like the world is against you, but in the context of league averages, injuries are not excessive.

Gerara Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 We already have quite a sizeable beta testing team that looks at the match engine prior to release. The problem is (as you've seen for yourself if you played the pre-release beta) that every little change can have massive consequences on the entire match engine. If the testing team raises the fact that there's too many shots on goal for example, a small tweak in the players shooting decisions may mean that player start not shooting in good goalscoring positions. It's very difficult, even with a large testing team, to be able to get the match engine exactly right when there are an insane amount of variables within the ME environment. This another reason why you must come back with a FML-like MMO. Testing ME in a constant basis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharpeOne Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 i really like the improvements in fm14 this year but the one thing i am having problems with are strikers, i have lukaku and lewandowski upfront in my time yet no matter what role i get them to play i cannot get them to score, they consistently have poor ratings, and yes, i'm fully aware that it may be my tactics but i notice even cpu strikers dont score as often as other players, just wondered if anyone else noticed this?

Been doing well all season, granted the football has not been pretty at times but I persisted, got my Leipzig team into second place with some 6 games to go. Not only did the wheels fall off but so did the bumpers and doors. Dominating games sometimes 70 to 30 possession wise, a much higher shots on goal etc etc. Managed to scrape 1 win, dropped out of the automatic promotion and now in the German playoff, I can't believe how bad it got, 1 game a team had only 4 shots at goal and scored 2, I had 16 at goal 12 on target and scored a big fat nil. I am actually scared to play the playoff, honestly I am, I fear for my PC's lifespan if/when I get beat! Well that's enough drama for me. going to try and chill with a beer.

First season, I took Concord Rangers to 2nd in the Krill South. Finished a good 15 points ahead of third, but 6 points of first (102 points!!). Won the first leg of my play off 3-2 (conceded a last minute goal). 1-0 up at half-time in the home leg and in total control. Team collapsed second half and I lost 3-1, with the last goal having a somewhat bugged element (when the DCs let a ball go past them assuming the chasing midfielder is going to pick it up, letting a breaking attacker run free on goal). Although it was frustrating, this is the first FM I can remember I haven't won immediate promotion from the bottom tier of the English leagues with a team predicted to finish bottom three. That extra challenge is what will keep me coming back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree I am enjoying the challenge, although I would have thought just by the rate of averages I should have gotten more points from my last 6 games, It has not been very pretty too watch. Unfortunately the wife has also had enough of me...and this years release, I normally only bother her to tell her I won something and she gives the obligated smile and "that's good", now I am bothering her all the time to whine about how my team just got beat with the "can you believe that?"

The first time I've been sacked in FM since, well, can't even remember. Enjoyed the season more than pretty much the whole time on FM13 though Playing FM13 really was more about feeding my addiction than any actual enjoyment. This one, even with all the early version flaws (and I'm usually very low on tolerance with these) is just so much more fun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScotchWhisky Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I agree. I think the overall transfer system is pretty terrible and basically operates as an AI advantage.I finished mid table in the skrill North which is far higher than expected since I was relegation favourites. Players from lower teams in my league arent interested in coming. Players from lower leagues arent interested in coming to my club even if they are free agents. I get no information as to why they arent interested in coming which makes it worse since there is no logical reason for it. To top it all off after 1 year where we have overacheived and so everyone should be relatively happy (and in any event its not like the majority of them are good enough to go elsewhere), I got a message saying that 3/4 of my squads contracts are up for renewal. Thats fine, except that 1/2 of those arent interested in staying (again with no reason given, despite their morale and happiness being high) and the 1/2 that are want weekly wages ~3x what they were on last season. I get that managing in the lower leagues is meant to be hard and involve high turnover, but this is ridiculous. Disappointing to hear that this hasn't been fixed. Reminds me of my FM13 game where I worked my way up from the Swedish Second Division to the Swedish Premier Division. You'd think players from the First Division Elite would love to join my team. Or you'd think that those teams being relegated from the Premier Division would like to join mine (especially after finishing mid table and avoiding relegation numerous seasons). Nope. Rare that a decent talent wants to join my team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan25 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 2 issues, first, why can't I offer higher wages either from signing new players or offer new contract to my current players despite having plenty excess wage budget remaining? my top gooal scorer needs a new contract but i can only offer 700£ at current? also, the unlockables etc dont work, i tried the increase bank balance, it says when you save it will update but nothing happens, same with magic sponge. the work permit doesnt work despite the apply to game icon allowing me to press it.

Quorthon Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 This year's version is completely unplayable. 1) 17-year-old talent costs EUR 40M + 2) playing a team with a better class of enemy I can not win, regardless of the tactics. 3) The reserve team led by assistant / manager, despite having the best players (best in the league CA) is last in the table losing everything you can. 4) my deffenders running with no sense letting attackers of the opposing team on pure shooting positions. 5) I can enter 5 of my players in the field of my opponent and not leave it for a minute unsuccessfully bombarding goal. All shots are blocked by defenders or keeper, or are knocked out in the corners. This situation is very common. In one match can be 20-25 corners. I'm tired of being a tester to January / February of the following year after the release of the game. I am very disappointed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
